I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Su Bai put away the tea leaves, feeling satisfied as he continued to call out in his mind. [System, open the last Assistance Package.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host has received Low Grade Assistance: One pack of tissues.]

[Wait. Tissues? Didn’t I get these the last time?] Su Bai looked at the pack of tissues that appeared on the table.

[There’s a possibility of receiving the same items when opening Assistance Packages.] The System explained.

Su Bai nodded thoughtfully, [Okay, that’s fine. Tissues are consumables anyway. It’s good to have more of them.]

He put aside all the packages he had opened today, satisfied. He began to flip through the herbal encyclopaedia.

This matter could not be delayed, after all, it was about setting up a hospital, so medical knowledge needed to be quickly learned and understood.

He had already planned that after learning the medical knowledge himself, he would select a group of people to learn it as well. This was the only way the hospital could be officially established. After all, a hospital needs medical staff, and he certainly could not do everything alone.

Knowing this, Su Bai flipped through the herbal encyclopaedia at an even faster pace, his eyes quickly scanning the illustrations inside.

First, he looked for familiar illustrations, then he would look at the effects and uses of some herbs.

After more than an hour, there was gradually more and more commotion outside his door.

Su Bai was drawn to the noise. He put down the herbal encyclopaedia, and walked towards the door.

He pushed open the door and found that the Tribe was very lively. He asked someone nearby, “What’s going on?”

“Shaman, Uncle Qing Yan and the others have returned.” The person reported.

“Shaman, shall we go take a look? Xiao Yu and the others have finally returned back home.” Yan Hua had walked over at some point.

Next to the cow horned girl was a cat eared girl, she was Sha Lan. Sha Hong had brought them back to the Ancestral Land a couple of days ago.

Sha Lan was still a bit shy, not daring to raise her head, only softly greeting, “Shaman.”

“Let’s go take a look then,” Su Bai walked out of the wooden house.

The three of them walked towards the lively direction. Before they got there, they saw a familiar figure running over, moving very fast.

*Tap tap tap…* Yu Ying kicked up clouds of dust, quickly arriving in front of the horned girl and others, holding a teddy bear in her arms.

She caught her breath and breathlessly said. “Thank… thank goodness, Shaman… you’re all safe.”

Yan Hua’s head bobbed up and down in rhythm with the other’s breathing. She smiled and teased, “Xiao Yu, why are you running? Be careful not to fall.”

“We’re all fine. Did anything happen on your journey here?” Su Bai reached out to pat the fox eared girl’s head.

“I… I just haven’t seen you all for so long,” Yu Ying said with a red face, shaking her head, “Nothing happened on the way.”

“Xiao Yu, we haven’t seen each other for such a long time.” It was then that Sha Lan’s gentle voice sounded.

Yu Ying’s pink fox tail kept wagging non-stop. She opened her arms to hug the cat eared girl, too excited to speak coherently, “It’s good… you’re really… so good…”

Sha Lan was amused by this. She covered her mouth as she said. “It’s good that you’re alright, right? I really couldn’t make out what you’ve just said.”

Yu Ying touched her lips with one hand, embarrassedly stating. “I really didn’t know what to say for a moment.”

Su Bai shook his head with a smile and asked. “Have everything been moved over?”

“Everything has been moved over. All the Teepees have been taken down and everything has been brought along.” Yu Ying nodded heavily.

Her breathing had finally calmed down, and her pink fox tail, which had been standing straight up due to nervousness, gradually relaxed.

“What about the sweet potatoes and other plants? And the stuff in my Teepee?” The first thing Su Bai thought of was the crops. There were also many things in the Teepee, including quite a few minerals and some items obtained from the Assistance Packages.

“Everything has been brought here, Shaman. Not a single item of yours is missing, everything has been well packed and safely transported.” Yu Ying nodded and continued. “The sweet potatoes and chilli peppers have all been brought too.”

“Well done. Go and rest for now. You must be tired from the long journey, right?” Su Bai asked with concern.

Sha Lan watched this scene from the side, feeling a bit emotional, thinking that this Shaman was different.

He was young, but more importantly, he was very nice to others. He was very gentle, but also had a charisma that made one attracted to him. [No wonder why Yu Ying looks at him so differently. To think our originally timid and shy Xiao Yu has become so cheerful now?]

Yu Ying no longer avoided eye contact when talking to people. She no longer easily blush or get scared, and no longer hid behind others.

Sha Lan also felt a change in Yan Hua. Just like the fox eared girl, the change was quite obvious. The cow horned girl had always been proud and did not like to associate with young men. [Now, this girl seems to always want to stick close to the new Shaman. Maybe she had fallen for him?]

“It’s alright, Uncle Qing Yan and the others have moved the things over. I want to help them organise and make sure the Shaman’s room is back to how it was before,” Yu Ying happily said.

“No rush, rest first. You can start working after you’ve rested well. If you exhaust yourself, I might have to find a new Shaman Priestess.” Su Bai teased on purpose.

Yu Ying shook her head repeatedly and said: “Okay, I’ll rest right away. I’ll help the Shaman organise later.”

The fox eared girl was intimidated by his words and did not dare to act rashly, just quietly following behind Su Bai. She was afraid of not being needed anymore, also afraid that he would find a new Shaman Priestess. Thus, she did not dare refuse him, and say she wanted to go and tidy up things.

“Ah’Hua, have someone go and help them. Make sure they arrange everything properly, especially the tools for making ceramics, linen, and paper.” Su Bai instructed.

“Understood.” Yan Hua nodded and turned to leave.

“Shaman, I’ll go too.” Sha Lan said nervously, then quickly turned and ran away.

Since returning to the Ancestral Land, the cat eared girl had been secretly observing Su Bai, studying the appearance and temperament of this new Shaman.

Whenever their eyes met, she would become very shy and immediately look away, pretending to do something else.

Until now, Sha Lan still did not dare to be alone with Su Bai, and was always running around with Yan Hua. Even when moving stones, finding dry grass, or training, it was the same – she never left Yan Hua’s side.

Maybe it was because returning to the Ancestral Land and seeing so many strangers made her feel a bit insecure, or maybe it was because Su Bai’s presence made her curious.

“What kind of girl is Sha Lan?” Su Bai curiously asked. He felt that the cat eared girl was different from Yan Hua and Yu Ying, seeming more quiet and reserved.

“Sha Lan is very capable.” Yu Ying said with a smile.
